Dir: Hettie Macdonald 2023 | 108 mins

Based on Rachel Joyce’s bestselling novel.

Harold Fry was never meant to be a hero. He’s an unremarkable man who has failed at all the important things: being a husband, a father and a friend.

Now, well into his 60s, he is content to fade quietly into the background of life. But when Harold learns his friend Queenie is dying, he is moved to act.

He leaves home, walking to the post box to send her a letter. Until he realises a letter is not enough. In that moment Harold decides to keep walking, all the way to her hospice, some 500 miles away in Berwick-upon-Tweed. As long as he walks, Queenie must live.

Surprising himself as much as his wife Maureen, Harold embarks on a walk of hope, determined to travel the length of England to save his friend.

'Broadbent is a wonder, so real and sincere it doesn’t feel like acting' The Spectator

'This politely unassuming little film builds into a wrenching examination of grief, guilt and eventual closure' ★★★★ Guardian

‘It’s a non-religious pilgrim story about the power of hope and faith. A movie that celebrates everyday joys and human connection. The perfect pick-me-up tonic for tough times’ ★★★★ Metro

‘One of the great movies about ageing and regret, up there with 45 Years and The Straight Story’ ★★★★ Times

Dir: Kelly Fremon Craig 2023 | 106 mins

Adaptation of Judy Blume's beloved and best-selling book of the same name.

Margaret is 11 years old. She is moving to a new town and beginning to contemplate everything about life, friendship and adolescence.

Her mother who offers loving support but is herself finding her own footing in a new place. Her grandmother is coming to terms with finding happiness in the next phase of her life.

For all three, questioning their place in the world draws them closer together than ever before.

Stars Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates and Abby Ryder Fortson as Margaret.

‘We forget how much we wanted to rush to grow up, and also how, once it started happening, we weren’t sure how to adjust to this rattling new normal. Are You There God?, both funny and generous, brings it all back’ TIME Magazine
